Pristine beaches.
lovely Sky water.
Those unhappy many.....
who would see blue
Waves turn to
gory Mud.
Glorious swells........pure power.
Struck dumb......awe and fear would mingle
like twin brothers
in your mind.
No thoughts left to think.
No time to think them.
But the glory of it
is so fleeting.
Awe, quickly superceded
by fear.
Then there is only reality.
Salt in your hair.....then your lungs......
Wailing of the Woman
in Red.....Shown countless times
on Discovery.
Red, the color of pain.
The color of blood.
Color of Death.
Witnesses. The ones who did
not Get to die.
The ones who must
Remember.
Children. so many little
children.
Legs not long enough to outrun
the wall of water.
We must stack them on top
of each other now.
Each must share their death
with countless
Others.
That idle One.
The small figure
we see rise slowly from
the sand.
Us, safely looking on
from afar.....from behind the camera....
Behind our Television sets.....
And he.......He sees his own death
and does not run.
When the waters recede......
there is.....
Nothing.
